It appears that Google is tired of the hold-ups and restrictions Apple places on its iPhone apps, so it plans to do away with the need for apps altogether. Using HTML5, the new m.youtube.com site promises to offer a better video experience on your iPhone–or any smart phone for that matter.

Tune into Leanback and YouTube will look at your settings, preferences, subscriptions, friends etc to compile a video channel personalized just for you! When you first watch Leanback, you clearly see it’s meant to be watched on your TV screen, not your desktop.
